Foundation Brändi

The Foundation Brändi as a socially and economically successful company promotes and realizes the inclusion of people with disabilities in work, society and culture.

The Advent donation from Washo is for the benefit of Wohnhaus Bleuen:

The Bleuen Willisau residential building, which opened in 1992, is located in the immediate vicinity of the train station, in the middle of the Bleuen residential area. People with disabilities are very well integrated in the idyllic little town of Willisau. The interaction is uncomplicated and open. People meet spontaneously while shopping in the various small stores in the village.

This donation was also recommended directly from the Washo community. Unfortunately, not all donation recommendations could be implemented this year. However, the positive feedback motivates us to continue expanding our social approach in the new year.
